Karelian Research Centre RAS was represented in the meeting by project experts – Deputy President for Science Nikolai Ilmast and Leading Researcher at the Forest Research Institute Sergey Sin’kevich.
During two days of intense work together with colleagues from the Swedish Forest Agency, Integrated Arctic Research Centre in Arkhangelsk, WWF Barents Sea Branch Arkhangelsk Office, and St. Petersburg ITMO University a Swedish-designed technique for assessing the condition of small rivers was tested in the field, and the action plan for adapting it to be applied to forested catchments in the Arkhangelsk Region and Republic of Karelia was discussed.
The upcoming plans of this project, scheduled for a 3-year period and bringing together partners from Sweden, Finland, Russia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland, include the development of a common methodology and analysis of the applicability of the suggested approaches to Russian realities.

Breams infected with ligula worms are edible
Biochemists and parasitologists at KarRC RAS studied how the wellbeing and nutritive value of the bream is affected by ligula – a flatworm that can grow to be several times as long as the host fish. To this end, scientists checked a number of crucial parameters in healthy and ligula-infected fish from Lake Syamozero. Analyses show that this parasite, non-hazardous for humans, does not have much effect on the quality of the fish either.
